I have a similar card ( GK208M [GeForce GT 740M] and a similar problem. I could not install the proprietary driver automatically. I am running Ubuntu 14.04 Gnome.

I solved it by installing something called Bumblebee, following these instructions:
http://www.themukt.com/2014/06/13/howto-install-nvidia-331-bumblebee-optimus-cards-ubuntu

I had to apt-get install virtualgl to run the tests at the end.
Also, the package nvidia-settings-331 seems to have gone away so I didn't install it.

There's some Ubuntu docs on this here:
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bumblebee

Basically it uses the NVidia card to render things that are displayed by the Intel card.
